Joel Salatin: Curing Society's Constipation Of Imagination

"As my son, Daniel says all of the time, "Our problem is not a lack of resources. Our problem is a constipation of imagination."

In
our culture today, we're all blocked up. Because we're so sure we know
how it's supposed to be done. That becomes our limiting factor. We can
do things very differently and profoundly better, but it never even
enters the imagination." - Joel Salatin

So says the always
colorful "renegade farmer" Joel Salatin, who returns to the podcast this
week to share his latest thoughts on creative yet practical solutions
society could and should be pursuing vs limiting and litigating
everything under the sun.

Much of what's needed is a shift in
thinking and priorities, says Salatin. And it starts with embracing
initiative, accountability, and a 'do more with what we have' mentality
-- which stands in stark contrast to the "we just need more stuff"
narrative of today's status quo.
